Sehome increase in reported registered burglaries

On Oct. 31 at 9:36 p.m., a residential burglary was reported in a High Street home.  Sophie Rice-Sauer, resident of the Sehome Neighborhood and student at Western Washington University filed a police report.  
A person entered her home through a bathroom window after Rice-Sauer left to visit a friend.  “We were walking home and saw a man with a backpack that looked just like my roommate’s.  When we got home, she saw that her backpack and MacBook was gone.  I looked for my MacBook and it was gone,” Rice-Sauer said.  
The Sehome Neighborhood reported 13 residential burglaries in October versus only one in September, according to the Bellingham Police Department Crime Statistics. Thus far, October has the highest number of reported residential burglaries compared to previous months.  
“I’ve heard about so many house getting Apple products stolen and the police aren’t informing the public at all,” Rice-Sauer said.
